'The second number looks even more interesting than the first,' writes H. P. Lovecraft, praising Clark Ashton Smith, the third number of a fledgling weird-fiction fanzine.

'The Fantasy Fan' (Nov. 1933, ed. Charles D. Hornig) is a landmark early science-fiction and weird-fiction fanzine. Historic, lively, essential. Read it for a piece of genre history, an issue graced by Lovecraft's own letter, from the pioneering fanzine that helped bind together the earliest weird-fiction fandom.
